Mirismail Seidov. The Juma Mosque, 2014

The painting shows the main entrance of the Juma Mosque in Derbent: a monumental portal with a pointed arch and a rectangular doorway, with inscribed stones in its masonry. The entrance is painted green and red.

Against a clear sky a helmet-shaped grey-blue dome topped with a crescent is visible. In the centre of the courtyard stands a low white pillar about which, the catalogue notes, many legends are told. The courtyard is flooded with sunlight, partly hidden by the shade of trees. The painting is done in bright tones, the season is summer, and the signature at left reads "S.M. 2014".
